New in Version 2.0

• Completely Redesigned Console – New user interface design and navigation to maximize user productivity.
• Expanded Comparison Options – Perform granular comparisons with new comparison options such as comparing and synchronizing views along with tables, comparing databases with different collation, variable transaction size, and many more.
• New Comparison Sessions – Easily repeat frequent compare operations with one simple click using comparison sessions which contain all the data related to a comparison operation including databases, credentials, comparison options, mapping rules, and excluded objects.
• Customizable Mapping Rules – Easily customize the way database objects are mapped together using new schema, name, and data mapping rules.
• Enhancements and bug fixes
  • Enhanced support for comparing large databases – Enhanced memory utilization, custom algorithms, and a new user interface improve the performance when comparing large databases.
